Five months pregnant, quarreling is very exciting

At five months of pregnancy, it is already the second trimester and the fetus has already taken shape in the body. If you lose your temper or get too excited at this time, it will indeed cause abdominal pain, which is more serious and will also affect the fetus, so try to suppress it. The reasons for quarrels, excitement, anger and stomach pain during the fifth month of pregnancy are generally the following.

1. Physiological abdominal pain

1) Around the fourth month of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and the round ligament of the uterus is stretched, and many pregnant women experience some abdominal pain. This type of pain is mostly located on one or both sides of the uterus in the lower abdomen, presenting as referred pain, dull pain or dull pain. The pain will become more obvious when walking a long distance or changing posture. Pregnant mothers don’t need to worry, the symptoms can be relieved by resting in bed more.

2) Excessive exertion during sexual intercourse in mid-pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain in expectant mothers.

2. Physiological abdominal pain

In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the baby gradually grows, and the pressure in the mother's abdomen also increases. If a pregnant woman's esophageal hiatus (the hole through which the esophagus slides down to connect with the stomach) widens, she may develop a "hiatal hernia" and suffer from abdominal pain. At this time, abdominal pain is often accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, chest pain, acid reflux in the stomach, and hiccups. The incidence of hiatal hernia during pregnancy is about 30-50%, and the symptoms are sometimes more obvious in the late pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant mothers are advised to: eat small and frequent meals, and eat less sweet, spicy, or sticky foods; do not lie flat on the bed or too low after meals, and try to avoid lowering your head to relieve acid reflux in the stomach; maintain smooth bowel movements. If you find that you have gastric reflux symptoms, try to raise your upper body by about 20°.

3. Abdominal pain not caused by pregnancy

Some diseases that occur during pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain in pregnant women, but these diseases have no direct causes related to pregnancy, such as appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. Since abdominal pain is common during pregnancy, sometimes abdominal pain that is not caused by pregnancy is easily ignored by pregnant mothers.

1) Acute appendicitis

It may occur in the early, middle, or late stages of pregnancy. When ordinary people suffer from acute appendicitis, most of the abdominal tenderness is in the right lower abdomen. However, due to the presence of the baby, the tenderness and pain in the right abdomen of pregnant women gradually shifts as the pregnancy progresses. Pregnant women who experience abdominal pain due to acute appendicitis generally have a history of chronic appendicitis, and are accompanied by symptoms such as increased body temperature. Because the condition will develop more quickly after pregnant women have appendicitis, they should go to the hospital for physical examination and treatment in time.
